About these lessons

About guitarist Tom Lane

A guitarist from St. Louis, I began my guitar lessons at age 9, and started putting a band together with my brother on drums from the age of 10. We were rocking in a few years, covering RUSH, Styx, Zeppelin, Heart, Boston and just about any other 70's rock band you can think of. I immersed myself in all forms of music, including other instruments.

The two biggest insights that helped me musically:

Always know the names of the notes you are playing !!! (sounds obvious, but don't use just fret numbers, for example)

You can learn just about anything you want just by stopping at each note and finding it !!!

My advice on guitar:

​"Listen to the works of others you like, and to strive to duplicate them - to practice their styles, and to learn from their talents. Then their styles automatically incorporate into your own."

About Slow-Motion Guitar:

Back in Jan 2007 when I was creating my first video for YouTube, I stretched out a guitar track and the light-bulb came on: Slow-Motion-Guitar was born !!!I started developing all my lessons with it. I searched everywhere on Google in the day and no one in the world was doing it! Back in the day, a google of slow-motion guitar used to turn up the first page full of only my links.

About my Guitar Tab

Downloads include a pdf file of the tab, plus usually the tab is right on the video as well.

I have personally created all of my tab to show how I technically play the licks.

An amazing number of notes are not picked. These are the usual hammer-ons (h), pull-offs (p), bends (b), slide (/).

If there is not an 'h' 'p' 'b' '/' before the note, that means I actually pick the note.

This detail will help you start to develop the habits that make it easier to play faster.

You not only learn awesome solos, but develop your technique as a guitar player.

About my Guitar Videos

Help visualize how I play the licks.

See which fingers I use, which you don't get from tab.

Analyze the timing of the licks with the backing tracks.

Analyze the timing and rhythm of the licks more closely slow-motion video.

Play-thru lessons

These lessons allow you to really analyze the timing as well as the notes, because the licks are played along with backing tracks.

They are also shown in slow-motion to see more clearly.

Usually there is on-screen tab, as well as printable tab. (see each products description)

Walk-thru lessons

These lessons have narration and show how to play the guitar licks.

Includes explanations of how I technically play the licks, and of how they fit in with the chords and scales.

​These lessons are based on the principle of ​learning by doing​. ​ ​If you want to improve, ​pick up your guitar and play. Even better, practice patterns and techniques of accomplished guitarists.
